The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2026, Joe Lefebvre crossed the line in 1:17:41: 55th of 418 men, faster than 87% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:22 quicker than the median and 22nd of 418. Stronger after halfway: 2:13 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:20, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Boston 2025 were 2:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
